Tune.FM, which describes itself as a decentralized music-streaming project atop the Hedera Hashgraph blockchain, aims to help artists earn more in royalties from their music by “streaming royalty micropayments and digital music collectibles,” with its native JAM token.
“Artists can expand their fanbase by promoting their music with JAM, so first-time listeners can play-to-earn JAM to discover newly promoted music. This allows artists to earn an ROI on their promotion as new fans discover and stream their music again and again,” Tune.FM wrote in a press release shared with CoinDesk.
The new capital will go towards growing its users as well as towards efforts to promote its token, marketing, development, and new product offerings, Tune.FM said.
“Tune.FM will soon launch a desktop application for Mac and Windows to complement our mobile apps in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store,” the team shared in the press release.

Pudgy Penguins is building a multi-vertical consumer IP platform — combining phygital products, games, NFTs and PENGU to monetize culture at scale.
What to know:
Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.
